Default Easily Startled After Injury?
Ever since my injury in February, I am very easily startled and it takes me a while to recover from it.

Sometimes I have a hard time talking and thinking for 5 or 10 minutes after and feel really tired. I just have to sit down. Sometimes if its bad enough, I have to go lay down after, its like all my energy got used up being scared.

Anyone else experience anything like this? Its annoying and drives my family crazy. Drives ME crazy. My family tries so hard not to startle me, but even when I know they are there, if they make a sudden noise (cough, sneeze, talk after a long period of silence) or anything really... not limited to noises.

I was not easy to scare before my injury... never been a jumpy sort of person... but now sudden stuff can really send me for a loop.
